  • Ukrainian troops are trying to hold out on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River.
  • They've been targeting Russian positions with drones, the UK's Defense Ministry said.
  • But the Russians are being "constantly replenished," a Ukrainian commander told the BBC.

A Ukrainian commander said that regardless of how many times his unit hit enemy targets on a key battlefront, Russian forces were always being resupplied.

Tymur, a commander in Ukraine's 11th National Guard Brigade, told the BBC that his unit was using drones to target Russian positions across the Dnipro River from the city of Kherson.

But "no matter how many times we hit the same places, [the Russians] are constantly replenished," he said.
